Geoprocessing raster data with QGIS

When? 5 Mar 2018, 15:00 to 17:15Where? Classroom 511

Do you want to learn how to manipulate raster data with one of the most used free of charge open source GIS tools? In this workshop, you will learn to use basic geospatial tools for raster data in QuantumGIS. For raster data, we will discuss raster calculations and how to calculate hillshades, slopes, viewsheds and zonal statistics. We will also discuss the differences between ArcGIS and QGIS in using these geospatial tools.

Prerequisite: Knowledge from workshop “Introduction to QGIS I (making maps)” or equivalent
